A physical quantity is a physical property of a phenomenon, body, or substance, that can be quantified by measurement.
Description
A physical quantity can be expressed as the combination of a magnitude expressed by a number – usually a real number – and a unit of measurement; for example, 1.6749275×10−27 kg (the mass of the neutron), or 299792458 metres per second (the speed of light).
Physical quantities are measured as 'nu' where n is the magnitude and u is the unit.
For example: A boy measured the length of a room as 3 m. Here 3 is the magnitude and m (metre) is the unit. 3 m can also be written as 300 cm. This shows that n1u1 =n2u2.
Almost all matters have quantity.
